I don't know why I miss him so much. I don't miss Jerry Goldsmith this much. I wouldn't even say that it makes sense for me to "miss" someone I never met. I don't "miss" Elmer Bernstein. Or Michael Kamen (much). Or Basil Poledouris.
But we watched The Spiderwick Chronicles this weekend. (Not a terrible movie.) When I realized it was a Horner score I got tears in my eyes. Since it was not even close to a sad or emotional scene my children wanted to know why.
Weird?

I had always hoped he would score one of the Star Wars spin-offs one day, ever since they announced them. That would have been great.
I miss him a ton - he always knew how to write music that really pulled at your heart and retained its sincerity, never really delving into parody of beautiful long-lined melodies.

My mother died four years ago. I wasn't anywhere near her when it happened because she was supposed to be out of the country for two weeks....some four days into her trip she was in a hospital and died. The only other family I had were my dementia stricken grandmother who was with my mother and now rots in a nursing home in that country, and my two dogs my mother and I shared.
I'm not over that and probably never will be, but I can tell you one thing:
James Horner, through his music, helped me to get through it. He was there for me, in essence.
Horner was there for all the isolated days and nights that followed, he was there for my cross-country move to start over. Horner was there when I fell in love with the girl who helped me to look forward in life and eventually married. James Horner was also there, all through his music, when my son was born four months ago.
That's the power of an art form like music. It can be linked to either your favorite movie moments, or it can show you its true power and be linked to your own life moments both good and tragic.
So when someone says they miss James Horner now that he's gone, I understand both perspectives very well.
P.s. The whole "watch what you say to me" on a message board is such an idle threat to even type the words is a waste of time. Not to mention, you started it. Glad it's finished.

Well, thanks for the posters that lent something.
It's Star Trek day today, so I'll definitely be listening to Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock.
